........."And so to our traditional "wild card". Pipex Communications, formerly known as GX Networks, is a telecoms company created by one of the entrepreneurs behind Ukbetting, Peter Dubens. It has been assembled from six smaller players. The ambitious company is generating cash for the first time but is still not widely followed in the City. It could be an undiscovered gem".

Need some news to move this mule.

there was also some text in regards to not buying Telcos in the same Shares mag.......think it was in the "Buy in May...." article on page 13 ??

I have come across this before.....the changes in telcos doesn't seem to be following any certain manner, and even with the new VOIP products, the telcos themselves don't really have any idea what the take-up will be like - as there are up to 4 ways (i think) in which this works, and knowing what the businesses and consumers will really go for is a tough call (had some product training at work = Telco co. and that is what i was told by the Account Manager that gave us the speil on products)

then there is the battle for BT line rental versus no BT line rental etcetc....

however, PXC seems to have gone down a good route with the web-hosting side of things, and also with Wimax.....being able to use your wireless broadband connection further away from your home is (i believe) one of those things that will really take off.....and come to think of it, i reckon that VOIP will be taken up more once something lke Wimax kicks in.

the fact that Fulham are still in the Premiership will also help them !!! only because they will be seen on TV a great deal of times.....

USB also took a sizeable chunk not to long ago, so i think that in 12 months time, the sp will be a great deal higher than it is today......patience.....

I think many companies will switch to VOIP once their existing contracts expire.

Please pull your socks up Pipex!! - I've a central heating system to pay for off the profits from this share....oh well, maybe I'll just have to put on another jumper........

Could be worse.... SPS for example give all their small share holders the cold shoulder. I'm feeling the chill and I have the heating on MAX! lol

Although I have a holding interest in this one my provider is Metronet - 9.99 pm at 1.1 mbps

Also have a holding feel you will see huge consolidation in this sector,im holding no rush.Be patient.

Very true Woody. I have believed for a considerable period of time that Pipex are a very attractive to Institutions and hence the SP seems to be held back whilst these guys get onboard. I note a 500k protected trade has been worked through today at a premium to the offer at 7.77p. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see another RNS in the near future announcing another significant holding. Eventually they will get going and 7.5p will be a distant memory!

PTH

Yep - gotta wait 12 months min.

That should see Fulham relegated !!

Has anyone seen the logo on their kit?

Had a dream, last night, that Pipex's SP put on a penny for each goal they put past Norwich yesterday.....6 for those who missed the result. An SP of 13p..now wouldn't that be wonderful.

1p too high. It'll be 12p

Pipe(x) dreams!!!

Maybe it was the other way round 21p!!! lol

Need some news from Pipex to move these up. someones playing games. All very tiresome

good - keep the price down, so that i can get in!!!!!

But will they ever go up belisce6?

Yeah dunno what will make this share move up!!! Pipex have tried their best but still stuck below 8p...............

Management can only exercise (some of) their options if the price is 12p or above - the options matured in April this year if I remember correctly. So I think we'll see the price rise above that level before the year is out (IMO).
